long nets


Recommended Posts


hi, im thinking about geting a long net for ferreting how much are they about? and are they hard 2 use? :icon_redface:

 

youll see how to use them on the dvd when you get it mate :D think i paid 30 for my 50yd but there wasnt enough bagging so its about 35yds now. and i paid 50 for my other 75yd both in 6z. i started out with a 4z again the rabbits were coming out of it too easily so i shortend it.

 

 

not hard at all ;) you have PM

 

if he's offering you a net dont buy it, there'll be big holes in it :11: joking aside, i bought my 75yd net off ryan and its the only one that didnt need shortening. top fella and the net arrived quickly :)

as long as you take your time they can be very effective and a pleasure to use when the conditions are right day or night

sorry to hijack the thread but ive never used a long net.i take it there ideal for an area thats riddled with burrys/holes that would be a nightmare to net individualy?

im thinking of making a 25yrd long net with 100% bagging next year for rabbits.what do you think is best 6oz , 8oz, 10oz, 12oz.also what mesh size would you recomend.2inch or 2.1/8 inch mesh.also has anyone got any pics of the split rings you use for tieing on to when making a long net.

for rabbits, use 4z or 6z. i suppose you would use the heavier sizes, but to be honest its not neccesary.

 

i would personally use a 4 1/4" mesh (2 1/8" knot to knot)

 

are you thinking of using it for nighttime work? as in my limited experience, a 25yard net at night is of little use. i would go with 75 yard nets for night time work. they are a nice size to handle :good: as i find the 100yard nets quite a strain on your wrists when picking up.
